Import improvements in SOLIDWORKS Visualize improve format loading, and
give you more control over
mesh
refinement quality.
SOLIDWORKS Visualize uses a new format-loading
component, replacing older import methods. This update improves
mesh
refinement
quality for better detail and accuracy during import. It also handles materials,
textures, and specific file types more efficiently, speeding up visualization
loading. In addition,
the mesh refinement experience is designed to align more closely with SOLIDWORKS,
providing a more consistent workflow.
The
Geometry tab in the
Import Settings
dialog box offers the following
Mesh Refinement modes:
- Default
Delivers the fastest import speed while preserving full material
properties, including textures. This mode uses either existing tessellation
data or default settings.
- Simple
Supports basic
mesh
refinement with limited material properties (color only).
You can adjust
mesh
refinement using a single
slider and
later retessallate part of the model using the Models
tab in the Palette, which provides the same
Mesh Refinement
controls.
- Advanced
Offers
more flexibility to customize
mesh
refinement settings, although material properties are
limited to color
only.
Similar to Simple mode, this mode lets you
retessallate parts of the model after import using the
Models tab in the Palette.
